It's hard to beat a basic basket weave stamping pattern for shear beauty. This particular one has some extra decoration in the form of antiqued spots. Finished in a saddle tan antique, it looks like it's been carried for years.

Many different styles of basket weaves are available. This is a "rope" style center bar. There are vertical bars, stars, circles, flowers, even a rose.

Pricing:

Plain wallets, in any color, hand sewn: $50
Plain Roper or Biker Wallet, any color, hand sewn: $60
Plain checkbook covers, in any color, hand sewn: $45

Options:
Laced, double loop: add $30
Round Braid lacing: add $80

Lacing takes more material and time than sewing. Hand sewing produces a much sturdier stitch and is stronger than machine stitched. I hand sew all pockets and linings into wallets for strength. The thread is set into a slight groove in the leather, protecting it from pocket wear. This is why I can guarentee my hand stitching for life. Round braid lacing looks beautiful, but takes over twice as long and twice as much lace as a double loop, hence the extra expense.

Personalization: add $10 (requires 80% deposit upon order)
A name or initials can be stamped into any of the wallets and checkbooks to personalize them.


Wallet Interiors styles:
Wallet interiors are made of top quality pigskin lining in dark brown, black, burgandy, or light brown. A tooling leather interior can be made at a slightly higher cost.
Monarch: Classic four pocket style
Deluxe: Another classic with pocket and snap flap protecting a credit card and picture insert.
Trifold: Not just an interior, but a style. Thicker than a double fold wallet, it holds more too.
Credit Card: Also known as "Hipster" style wallet. Slightly taller than the others, but holds more cards flatter.
Roper: Can serve as a wallet and as a checkbook cover. One side holds a checkbook, the other a stack of cards. Note: a Roper wallet is roughly 8 inches square, slightly larger than a standard checkbook cover.
Biker: A biker or trucker wallet is similar to a roper with the addition of a zippered coin pocket. With or without snaps and belt chain this is the perfect wallet for keeping you organized.
